Chapter 920: Armored spearhead and drone swarm
Staring at the flawed defense line on the holographic map, the legion leader Fang Yuanhong's eyes widened, and his face had long since lost the calm that he had before. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 His lips opened and closed, his fists clenched in fear, and he could not give an order as precious time passed.
When he heard that the Prowler tank was more than half damaged and that NAC had used an unknown energy weapon, he knew that he had lost the war.
The adjutant standing beside him spoke in a difficult tone, squeezing out of his throat the confusion he couldn't figure out: "...... How they transported the tanks behind us. ”
Fang Yuanhong didn't answer, just looked at the red dot on the hologram silently.
The gunfire outside the building became clearer, and the battle was already approaching the headquarters.
"How many tanks do we have left?"
"There are only two left. ”
Two cars......
Fang Yuanhong's body shook.
Before leaving, he swore to Wei Bian, the commander of the United Command, that he would not only lead the First Army to win the war, but also do his best to bring back these precious tanks intact.
Now, however, his lieutenant told him that there were only two of their prowlers left......
"Find the leader of the Steel Helmet tribe for me, not only Hongcheng, but I will reward them with the entire Suhang Province. Fang Yuanhong adjusted the hat on his head, hesitated for a moment, and finally took off the hat and left it on the table.
The adjutant was stunned, didn't understand what his boss meant for a while, and asked subconsciously.
"And then?"
"Then?" Fang Yuanhong raised his eyebrows and looked at the adjutant, "Then let them cut off the queen for us." ”
……
The First Army of the Coalition Sector retreated quite decisively, as they had come.
Now that we know that winning has become impossible, it is best to preserve our strength.
The NAC's surprise tactics were initially successful, but as the front deepened, the Coalition soon realized the dangers of the NAC's turretless tanks.
In addition, it is not only NAC that has UAVs, the First Army is also equipped with a large number of individual UAVs, including attack UAVs such as Vipers. It's just that in order to reduce the efficiency of the NAC's shelling, their forces are relatively scattered.
The Chaser Corps and the tank formation, which had cut in from the north, converged with the infantry of the 2nd Division crossing the Yangtze River near the railway station and advanced towards the headquarters of the United Command District.
In the final battle, the NAC put in a total of 30 Longbow I, 20 Tiger Hunting II, 100 infantry vehicles, and nearly 10,000 infantry on the one hand. However, after the main forces of the NAC converged, they did not continue to encounter the people of the Coalition Zone, but ran into the unusually excited mutant forces.
Obviously, at the last minute, the Coalition sold their teammates who had bad brains. Until the last mutant warrior fell, they remained steadfast in their belief that Hongcheng and Suhang Province were in the possession of the Steelhelm Tribe.
The 1st Army retreated very quickly, and the 2nd Division only made a symbolic pursuit, and after determining that it could not catch up, it withdrew to the Wushi area, concentrating on picking up the mutant soldiers who were hiding on the street corners and preparing to fight the NAC to the end.
The war lasted from the morning to late the next night.
When the news reached the Fishbone Base and the Sixth Block, the entire NAC cheered. The festive atmosphere permeates the streets of the Sixth Block, where the price of beer and liquor has risen by more than a half.
After the victory in the war, the NAC junta convened a high-level meeting to take stock of the gains and losses of the war and at the same time give instructions on what to do next. In addition to Jiang Chen, who was a marshal, the meeting was also attended by the head of the Three Masters Regiment and other middle and high-ranking military officials, as well as Wang Qing, Lu Huasheng, and other ministers of various departments of the military government.
As the temporary commander who led the Second Division to win this war, Han Junhua naturally became the second protagonist at the conference table besides Jiang Chen.
However, since she was still on the front line and did not return, she was unable to attend the meeting in person, and only participated in the meeting through holograms.
In her summary of the battle, she came up with an interesting word.
"Armored spearheads and drone swarms?" Jiang Chen pondered this unfamiliar word and looked at her with interest, "Can you explain it specifically?"
Han Junhua nodded, stretched out his hand to open the holographic screen, and vividly expressed the tactical connotation of this word with a simple drawing of lines
"The so-called armored spearhead and drone swarm is to use the strongest side of the armored unit to form an attack spearhead to pierce the enemy's defense line. In cooperation with the drone swarm, the soft targets that the armored units cannot take care of are cleared. The carrying capacity of the armor itself can be used as a carrier for large UAV terminals, and the mobility of UAVs also enables the armored units to maximize their propulsion speed. ”
After listening to Han Junhua's retelling, Jiang Chen had already realized the superiority of this tactic.
With the cooperation of drones, tanks equipped with heavy firepower are like lancers coming and going, constantly piercing enemy lines in mobile warfare, moving to the next combat position before the local infantry forms an encirclement.
Especially in urban terrain that is good at giving full play to the advantages of drones, the superiority of this tactic is self-evident.
Jiang Chen silently memorized Han Junhua's words, not only in the last days, this kind of advanced tactical thinking seems to be more effective in the present world. After all, in the present world, EMP weapons have not yet flooded to the extent that everyone has EMP grenades, and the combat effectiveness of UAVs will be exerted to the extreme.
Han Junhua continued to read the report, and soon read the location of the battle damage.
“…… During the entire battle, we lost a total of 14 longbowmen. Only 5 were destroyed by anti-tank rockets, and with the exception of 3 destroyed by Prowler's particle cannons, 6 of them were due to the failure of the tanks themselves, so much so that the commander had to abandon the vehicles and order them to self-destruct. ”
After all, it was a tank that came out in a hurry, and Jiang Chen was not incomprehensible when such a situation occurred. Understandable is understood, and the problem must be solved.
Jiang Chen looked at the head of the scientific research department and instructed him to feedback this problem to Camp 27 and find out whether the problem was in design or production as soon as possible. The looming crisis has been resolved, and there is now plenty of time to address them.
"There is another issue that we must pay attention to, and that is the Type 52 particle cannon in the United Nations Region. This particle cannon can be said to be the prototype of a plasma weapon, we cannot unilaterally expect our enemy to stagnate, now we need to think about how to defend against this energy weapon. ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Chen paused, looked at the Minister of Scientific Research and continued.
"The next priority of the Ministry of Scientific Research is to keep the investment in aerospace technology unchanged and appropriately tilt resources towards shield technology. The thickness of the armor is already meaningless in the face of energy weapons, as both the Type 52 particle cannon and our PR-1 have demonstrated. Now we have a spear sharp enough, and we are short of a shield to match. ”
Although war has never changed, the form of war has changed.
Gone are the days when armor is justice and caliber is truth. No matter how thick and awesome the armor is, in the face of energy weapons, it is only a matter of time and power to crumble.
The technology that the pan-Asian cooperation failed to complete before the war was kicked by the NAC.
The next one is shield technology, as long as you figure out how to make the shield system small-scale, I believe this problem should not be too difficult to solve. (To be continued.) )
